NEW YORK - AussieJournal -- Fairmint is proud to be the first SEC-registered Transfer Agent to integrate with the Transfer Agent Protocol (TAP).

In our journey to create a more open and efficient rail for the securities industry, we recognized early on the limitations of relying on another in-house proprietary cap table management implementation.

The international law firm Gunderson Dettmer recently published Where does the cap table industry go now? and says it best:

"Cap tables summarize some of the most sensitive information in a private company: who owns what."

Echoing this statement from the Gunderson team, we consider the cap table to be the heart of the securities stack, demanding openness, standardization, and complete ownership by the company.

A Leap Towards Standardization in the Transfer Agent Industry

With Fairmint, Poet Network, and Plural Energy as founding members, TAP stands out as the first open-source infrastructure designed specifically for standardized equity management catering to transfer agents. The first stable release of the protocol is anticipated in Q1 2024.

TAP was developed on the foundation of the Open Cap Table Format (OCF), the Open Source Company Capitalization Data Standard, which has received endorsements from fifty leading US law firms and prominent industry players.

The widespread adoption of OCF as a standard within the equity management sector serves as a powerful solution for founders and attorneys seeking to regain command over their capitalization data, underlining Fairmint's dedication to fostering open and standardized practices.

Leadership Perspectives: Pioneering Change Together

Fairmint team didn't want to build yet another in-house proprietary cap table management implementation.

"By choosing to build on open-source standards like the Transfer Agent Protocol and the Open Cap Table format, we're pioneering the future of the equity management industry based on trust and transparency," shares Thibauld Favre, co-CEO of Fairmint.
